It's Summertime…
Believe it or not, we are nearly halfway through 2024, and so far this year, the firm has already grown in so many ways. In May we opened our newest office in Denver, bringing with it nine new attorneys and a presence in the Mountain Time Zone. Since the beginning of the year, we have welcomed more than 50 timekeepers, including 17 lateral partners. And in May, the firm also welcomed its newest class of 38 summer associates to eight offices.
In addition, we recently released the Venable Foundation 2023 Annual Report, marking 40 years of giving. And over the last two months we celebrated both Women's History Month and Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month. Right now, we are enjoying Pride Month and holding virtual and in-office events to honor Juneteenth.
